How to insert binary data into a file?

Asked by yong615 in Education Industry, Emacs, Networking Protocols

Tags: c++ byte binary file io insert binary data

I want to read a file (any kind) and I want to insert 3 byte header in every 1400 byte.
1. read file size and print files size
2. insert 3 byte header into every 1400 byte
something like:
|---3 byte header -- | --- 1400 byte of data --- | --- 3byte header --- | --- 1400 byte of data --- |
3. write that on new binary file

The problem that I have is that I can read 1400 byte of data into memory but I cannot append the first 1400 byte data after the 3 byte header and I cannot do the second block and so on. How can I make loop to complete it and write in a new binary file? Please help me...
